Yee Leng Xiong Eyes Wisconsin State Treasurer | Milwaukee News

Yee Leng Xiong, a local finance veteran and Hmong American community leader, has emerged as Wisconsin’s Democratic nominee for State Treasurer, defeating Dylan Ray Helmenstine with 57% of the primary vote. He’ll face Republican incumbent John Leiber in November — the only statewide office held by a GOP candidate this year. Though the treasurer’s powers have been scaled back in recent years, the role remains vital: signing checks, overseeing public pensions, and managing timber revenue that funds schools. Backed by big-name endorsements including Senator Tammy Baldwin, Xiong is poised to bring grassroots leadership to a historically influential position.
